Debate Details: Joe Picks Podium Placement, Trump Gets Final Word; Report

It’s almost time…

According to a CNN report, a coin toss has determined who will stand where and who will get the final word in Thursday night’s highly-anticipated presidential debate.

From CNN:

The coin landed on the Biden campaign’s pick — tails — which meant his campaign got to choose whether it wanted to select the president’s podium position or the order of closing statements.

Biden’s campaign chose to select the right podium position, which means the Democratic president will be on the right side of television viewers’ screens and his Republican rival will be on viewers’ left.

Trump’s campaign then chose for the former president to deliver the last closing statement, which means Biden will go first at the conclusion of the debate.

Biden and Trump are set to make history on June 27 in the first presidential debate between an incumbent and a former president. It will also be the first debate since 2020 featuring either Biden, who did not face a serious challenge for the Democratic nomination, or Trump, who skipped those held during the Republican primary race.

Let's just get it on and have at it. America is fed up with @JoeBiden's entire presidency.
